Plastic Recycling Program
Dear Thacher Families,
Most of us know that plastic bags have a huge impact on the environment. They are found in city gutters, trees, abandoned lots, and of course the ocean. So I decided to do something about it. I wrote letters to the Mayor of Boston explaining how I thought there should be a bag ban. Finally after 2 years of hard work, in the fall of 2017 Boston city councilors voted 12-0 in favor of the bag ban and it will be implemented on December 14, 2018.
Now it is time for Thacher to take action. Thacher has started a recycling program for plastic films, plastic bags, etc..
Here is a list of plastics you can bring in and deposit in the box just inside the Thacher front door.
